What is a Foster Lead?

A foster lead is the person who will be your "mentor" through the foster process, the person you go to when you have an immediate question/concern, or if you need supplies. They are the one who will usually do your home inspection and sets up your foster arrivals and departures.

As you can imagine they are very busy with multiple foster volunteers and usually foster animals themselves. Please keep this in mind when contacting them, please do not wait till the night before surgery, or after you have run out of something to make them aware. Texting is a preferred method as it gives us a "cheat sheet" to reference with everything that is going on.
